RANDOLPH - With temperatures in the teens following Tuesday's storm that saw a mixture of snow and then rain, icy roads may have been to blame for a pair of crashes in Milton and Randolph Wednesday morning.

A utility truck pulling a trailer went off the road on the Adams Street off-ramp on I-93 in Milton around 8 a.m.

State Police and paramedics responded to the crash on the northbound side of the highway. The right lane was temporarily closed.

The trailer was partially leaning over the guardrail, police said.

The driver was uninjured and the scene was cleared by around 8:30 a.m., police said.

In Randolph, a sedan flipped onto its roof on the southbound side of Route 24 South, just past the Blue Hills Reservation horse bridge, around 7 a.m.

The driver and lone occupant of the car was taken to a local hospital but was uninjured, State police said.

The car came to rest in a snow bank next to the median. The left lane of traffic was blocked while the vehicle was towed.

All lanes were reopened by 8 a.m.

Firefighters and paramedics from Randolph and Canton and State police responded to the scene.
